What causes double feeds? (Glock)
Yes live round in chamber. If I pulled the slide back and tipped the second round out I could then send the slide forward and the gun would fire.

What causes double feeds? (Glock)
Two rounds coming out of the magazine, one chambers and the other comes out and jams the slide.

What causes double feeds? (Glock)
Doubt it was the magazines as they are Glock magazines that all ran fine the week before and had the problem with all of the magazines that day. The ammo was from Peakperformanceammo.com and they use 180gr FP Berry Bullets. These were recommended to me by a competitor at a local match a few weeks ago so I thought I would give them a try. I contacted the company and they have not had any other reported issues. Seems very strange.

New S.P. Form for "Assault Firearms" Registration
Isn't this yet another violation of the Supremacy clause of the US Constitution? Since the U.S. Army has stated an AR-15 is NOT an assault weapon how can a state (a lower level of government) claim that it is?

What causes double feeds? (Glock)
Shot a USPSA match this past weekend an my always reliable Glock 35 was having three to five double feeds every stage. Yes I changed something, the ammo. So I am fairly certain it was the ammo that was the cause, but what was the ammo doing or not doing that caused this. The OAL of the ammo was the same as my normal ammo. The only visual difference seemed to be that the bullet tapered from the case to the tip a little more than what I have normally been using.

30 day question. Can I buy out of state, ship and have FFL in NJ hold until 31 days?
Actually you can buy more than 1 every thirty days with an exemption. You could immediately buy as many as you want from out of state (or in-state) dealers and have them shipped to your FFL, you would then get the serial numbers of each gun and fill out a form and apply for an exemption. Once received you can pick up all the guns at once. This only applies when you have the serial numbers of each of the guns ahead of time. Check the state police web site for more info.

Always check your scores before the next shooter!
Than has always been called L10, the sad joke is Open-10. Hopefully the mag ban will get over turned. At least for me it is still 19+1 shooting .40 cal in a 140mm magazine, but I do miss my NJ shooting buddies.

Gas tax hike Oct 1
Yup, I reached my boiling point which is why I left and went to Florida. What I am not paying in NJ income and property taxes in a year fully pays the annual rent on a four bedroom three bath home with a three car garage and I ground pool in an expensive part of the state. It’s time for everyone that can afford to leave to get the hell out of New Jermany.

Always check your scores before the next shooter!
I shot a USPSA match today and Practiscore had a hiccup. I had 18 alphas and 6 charlies and it gave me a hit factor of 0.00. The time was correct as well. We tried to edit both the scores and the time with no luck. The only thing that worked was to change me from major to minor, and then back to major and then it gave the correct hit factor. So, watch out as there seems to be a glitch. Don't worry even once fixed it only gave me a 56% on the classifier, yea I am still sandbagging in Limited

Home Theater Hookup Question
I have a 65" UHD Samsung and use its optical out to go to my older Surround sound system, works perfectly. It transmits the sound be it from a cable box, a Roku, a FireTV box, a DVD, or any other input.

Port forward misery.
Glad you got it fixed. You could have always gone to Google and typed "port forwarding optimum router" lots of info there.

Gas tax hike Oct 1
This is great news. Since they raised the tax on gasoline the roads are almost pot hole free. With this new increase they will all be silky smooth. Thanks goodness we have such a great government, thank you Trenton for all you do and how you prove to us everyday how you can spend our money better than we can. (yes just in case you don't notice sarcasm when you see it this is in jest).

Daily humor thread
There were four sophomores taking chemistry and all of them had an 'A' so far. These four friends were so confident that the weekend before finals, they decided to visit some friends and have a big party. They had a great time but, after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Penn State until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they decided that after the final they would explain to their professor why they missed it. They said that they visited friends but on the way back they had a flat tire. As a result, they missed the final. The professor agreed they could make up the final the next day. The guys were excited and relieved. They studied that night for the exam. The next day the Professor placed them in separate rooms and gave them a test booklet. They quickly answered the first problem worth 5 points. Cool, they thought! Each one in separate rooms, thought this was going to be easy... then they turned the page. On the second page was written... ......... .................... ..................... For 95 points: Which Tire? _________

Howard Stern talked about National Reciprocity today
Yea maybe I’ll get around to that. My wife has been commuting to NJ/NY one day a week. She even went and had drinks for an hour or so at our Old Home with the nice people that bought it. So when are we going to get together in my new location

murphy, "name and shame"
Here is his problem with name and shame other states, the problem is not those states it IS New Jersey. If it really were those other states then they would have MASSIVE gun problems with only a small portion getting exported. The problem is NJ lets criminals get away with gun charges (in violation of the GRAVES ACT) but throws the book at honest citizens that get tripped up of technical violations.

nics checks for private sales
There are no handgun sales without an effective nics check in the socialist people's republic of New Jermnay. Even for a family transfer you need a P2P which is a form of NICS check.

Howard Stern talked about National Reciprocity today
That is a persona to make money. He is not that way in real life and adores his wife. The two of them are (were) customers of a travel agency my mom worked at for many years and in real life are very different people.

Murphy/Grewel to Attack CarryGuard (merged w/"Murder Insurance" thread)
Makes perfect sense in their warped view of the world to attack insurance purchased by legal gun owners to stop criminal gun behavior. It is equivalent to passing a law that hybrid cars double their gas mileage because 18 wheel trucks use too much fuel.

Knowledge is good, except in left wing NJ
It is amazing how New Jersey denies not only the 2nd amendment but our rights to know what our government is doing. Just saw this listing that came out in Florida that shows Carry permits issued by county as of July 31st. Sure would be nice the government in NJ would do the same. https://www.freshfromflorida.com/content/download/7502/118869/cw_active.pdf

Bad day at the match
No Do overs, sorry.

A buyback program I can support
Just saw on the news Jacksonville FL has a buyback program going on that I can support. They are NOT buying back guns, rather they are offering residents 50 cent for each sign they turn in from public right of ways that advertise all sorts of crap like we buy houses or other such visual pollution. Now if only the socialist people’s republic of New Jermany could do that instead of the BS gun buybacks

Transporting from FL to NJ
As others have said if it is on the list of explicitly named guns it is a no go no matter what features you have on it. Since I recently made the move from the socialist people's republic of New Jermany to the semi-Free state of Florida feel free to bring it to my house where I will adopt it and give it a home. I'll even allow supervised visits.

Just when you think things are going well....
Sorry to hear the sad news, I know how awful this is from first hand experience. Best wishes.

Bondo + Wood?
We had some wood rot that the painters fixed with bondo, the results were amazing. Can't tell you how long it lasts as it was done just before we sold our home but the painters said they do it all the time and never have an issue with it.
